Fort St Frederic and Crown Point near St John’s in Canada
An 1759 chronicle describes Mont-Yeah and Laprarie villages, St John’s fort on Champlain, the Crown Point garrison, and Fort St Frederic with its 21 cannon, drawbridge, citadel, and planned water supply. It notes the fort’s strategic value for French operations and the growth of nearby farms as settlers move in. Also included are excerpts from Louis the Well Beloved’s lament for lost ships and battles.
